Answer: the ratio that represents Cos C = a/b

Explanation:

Triangle ABC is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle,

AC represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With m∠C as the reference angle,

BC represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

AB represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine m∠C, we would apply

the cosine trigonometric ratio.

Cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse. Therefore,

Cos C = a/b
